The Drummers Arms, Blackburn

Nice micropub which blows virtually everything else in Blackburn away (not that there is much). Was in a rush to catch a train so only had time for a (nice) half but will return if back in the town.

The Drummers Arms is a new micropub set in a prime position directly across from Blackburn Town Hall.The pub opened last Saturday by owners James and Katy Quale who run a pop up bar company for events and festivals.The pub is only one room but is quite spacious and much larger than the outer façade suggests. There are 5 rotating local casks to opt for all reasonably priced at £2.50p a pint (The Knocked Up Porter from the 3 B's Brewery was spot on)and a decent arrangement of seats plus a couple of unusual bench seats.There is a modest amount of pub memorabilia including 3 full sized pub signs on the wall. The pub opens at 12 noon and on Sundays there is an open mic session for local budding artists.Quite impressed with this one which and brings a breath of fresh air to Blackburn's declining pub scene.
